Kevin Durant has also expressed his thoughts on possibly surpassing Kobe Bryant on the NBA's all-time scoring list this season.
Houston Rockets legend Ralph Sampson commented that Durant's skill set could enable him to play for many more years as the franchise gears up for a championship run in the 2026-27 season. Speaking to Kyle Odegard of Action Network, Sampson noted Durant’s ability to maintain a high level of performance despite the advancing years of his career.
As he approaches the milestone of overtaking Kobe Bryant, Durant described his feelings about the achievement as difficult to articulate. Currently, he is just half a season away from this significant moment in his career.
In light of recent events, Durant has been vocal about MVP chants he received during a preseason game in China, where he scored 15 points, and shared his views on Kyrie Irving's return to NBA play.
Additionally, Durant reflected on his belief that retired player Russell Westbrook still had five to six years left to contribute in the league and expressed a willingness to support his young teammates, including Alperen Sengun, in the Rockets' upcoming season.
The Rockets’ General Manager, Rafael Stone, has expressed optimism about Durant's integration into the team's young core, highlighting hopes for a successful season with a mix of experience and youthful talent.
